On Brothers Sisters, Halifax, Nova Scotia's North of America combine jangly guitars and off-kilter rhythms to create a danceable post-punk sound that is equal parts Pretty Girls Make Graves and Q and Not U. The melodic, shout-along anthem "Let's Get To Our" puts the group in league with the otherwise incomparable Pretty Girls, and proves that even though North of America might get less attention from the indie rock world -- this is their fourth full-length, after all -- they can outplay higher profile acts like Dischord's Black Eyes. Though the band recorded Brothers Sisters themselves, there's an Albini/Shellac sound to the mathematically structured songs, and tracks like "All Are Liars" graft their Chicago angularity to a beautiful indie melodicism that simultaneously recalls the likes of Superchunk and Polvo. North of America is no easily categorized hardcore band, and Brothers Sisters should be filed amidst forward-thinking rock bands that aren't afraid to throw out the rule book -- Erase Errata, Whirlwind Heat, the Liars -- because though they don't sound exactly like these acts, they similarly embrace defiance.
